Moorestown, NJ 08057

Our General guild meeting is from 10:00 to 10:30 and the Saturday Morning Guild Meeting is from 10:30 am to 2:00 pm.

We are a group of weavers and aspiring weavers who gather to share and learn about different ways to weave, or just to hang out and weave together.

It has lots of room and parking for our group plus it's also handicap accessible.
has lots of room for our group.

Any type of small portable loom is welcome, including table loom, rigid heddle, backstrap, inkle, card, frame, tapestry, or potholder. A limited number of looms are available to Guild members for short term loan. Or we can get you started making your own loom. Come join us!

Since we share the room with the spinners, you are welcome to spin, needle felt, knit, weave, or just chat. And feel free to come and go as you like. All levels of experience are welcome, including non-Guild members.

Every month we present a short demonstration of a weaving technique. Come see what weaving is all about!

Bring a snack or lunch if you like; many folks bring simple food to share.
